Want More Value from Evaluation? AIM to Answer Two Questions
Thursday, February 6, 9:00AM – 10:00AM
While almost all learning is evaluated, less than half of organizations report that evaluation helps meet their learning and business goals. Data create no value. People acting on meaningful data within the L&D process create value. The Alignment and Impact Model (AIM) focuses evaluation on helping all stakeholders create value. AIM incorporates purpose, process, stakeholder roles, and two questions to guide evaluation design and focuses on maximizing learning, transfer, and impact. Examples demonstrate the fundamentals of AIM and how it can be implemented and used.
Applications on the Job:
- Learn the fundamentals of AIM and discover whether your L&D evaluation practice is creating value for your organization.
- Apply the AIM model through key stakeholder analysis and two fundamental questions to improve L&D evaluation.
- Leverage technology to implement AIM, streamline L&D evaluation, and save your organization time and money.

Improving Instructor Impact on Learning with Analytics
Each of us can recall an instructor who made learning engaging, relevant and impactful, inspiring us to apply what we learned. Unfortunately, each of us can also recall an instructor who failed in one or more these areas. Instructors are force multipliers, reaching hundreds — if not thousands— of learners, impacting both their learning experience and motivation to transfer. So, how can we improve instructor impact on learning?
